suffilk punch a close second !!
What do you all think will be a modern breed that will be next ?
Well its all to do with supply and demand, depending on technology and the economy.
I think apart from some the large draft horses will not vastly increase in numbers as they are longer in demand as much for their orginal use.
Smaller natives and cobs (like Highland, Dales etc) may increase in numbers due to large amount of people wanting horses. They are ideal for beginners etc and to keep on budget, being well mannered small and hardy. However if the economy declines so much that horses as pets becomes rarer these could suffer.
At the moment I don't think sport horse types decreasing, though all warmbloods are becoming the 'same', i.e oldenburgs, hanovarians etc and less defined types, so maybe something should ( or is) being dome to preserve each breeds unique features.
I think if the worldwide economy decreases a lot, people will have less disposible income, so horses with no real purpose like minatures etc might become rarer and so to very speacilised horse breeds.
Well thats what i think!
